Best experience I've ever had in an ER setting. Clean, bright, state of the art equipment. Everyone was polite and helpful. Staff was wonderful and no wait time at all. The fastest I've ever been in and out of an Emergency Room. They even called the next day to check on me. Loved it!

I was nervous to go somewhere besides Renown but after my experience I'm glad I did. Staff was friendly and professional. I was so nervous for my surgery and they were right there the whole time. In recovery the nurse was by my side and didn't leave me once. Everyone took time out and explained things to me. The hospital is smaller than Renown but is more personal which I liked. I was there for three days. The food was good and I liked how we were able to order what we wanted. I highly recommend Northern Medical Center for anyone needing a medical procedure done.

If I could give zero stars I would, I been here over 5 plus hours and I'm still here. The rooms are disgusting, they look like they haven't been clean for over a month or more, there is coffee spilled, and even dried crusty blood. working in the medical field this is unsanitary and for lack of better polite words utterly disgusting. I still haven't even seen the doctor yet either. I'm concerned about even laying in this sheets. Staff seems pleasant but this is unacceptably unsanitary. I get it's a busy time but do better for your patients NNMC. The pulse ox is filthy with crusty stuff in the grooves.

Went in for day surgery today for my kidney stones. 3rd Surgery in 4 months, every body I worked with was so nice and seamed happy to be working there. From the young man who checked me in Administration to the nurse in the day surgery room. Dr. Anderson from Urology of Nevada to the surgery nurse Brenda. But the Male nurse after surgery in recovery room stayed with me and helped me wake up and get ready to go home. Love everyone I have met there including the dionostic texts. Nice clean hospital.
